Schema

Auto-Publish Schema – Schema Drift

Milestone Schema Manager is getting smarter! In an effort to reduce the manual effort required to keep schema markup current, we have automated the process of updating schema markup in response to content changes to ensure schema markup remains accurate and up-to-date. Outdated schema markup on a page leads to diminished SEO performance and increased manual effort to keep schema markup current.

Path: Milestone Schema Manger > Tag/View > Tag Schema > Status

In the Tag Schema section of Milestone Schema Manager users will now see the ‘Auto Publish’ option under the Status column. This denotes that schema for the page has been auto-updated. 

By clicking on the auto publish icon you can view the changes to the schema and click on ‘Confirm’ to save the changes.

Please Note: Once you click on ‘Confirm’ these changes will be save to the schema markup for the page and cannot be reverted.

If you wish to revert the changes to the previous schema markup you can click on ‘Revert’.

Insights

Search Intent – Keywords

Milestone Insights has enhanced its reporting by displaying keywords alongside the search intent. This feature aims to provide businesses with a deeper understanding of user searches, enabling more targeted and effective responses.

Path: Milestone Insights > Content & Relevancy > Keywords & SERPs > Column (Dropdown Menu)

In the Keywords & SERPs section of Milestone Insights you can now add a column for Search Intent from the columns dropdown menu.

The Search Intent column categorizes searches into 4 search intent types:

• Navigational: Users with navigational intent are looking to find a specific website or page. They already know what they are looking for and are using search engines to navigate to that location directly.
• Transactional: Users with transactional intent are ready to make a purchase or complete a specific action. They are at the bottom of the sales funnel, looking for a place to buy a product, sign up for a service, or perform a particular transaction.
• Commercial: Also known as commercial investigation, this intent involves users who are researching products or services before making a purchase decision. They are comparing options and seeking information to inform their buying choices.
• Informational: Users with informational intent are seeking knowledge or answers to questions. They are looking for information on a wide range of topics and are not necessarily planning to make a purchase.

Average Search Volume – Keywords

The enhancement to the Average Search Volume feature within Milestone Insights provides businesses with the ability to view the average search volume for individual keywords. This enhancement will empower businesses with valuable insights into keyword popularity, aiding in the optimization of SEO strategies and content planning.
